I have to be ready,
Said the minuteman,
One mind when I hear my name

Cause all of it matters,
The war and the battles and
This life is a means to an end

To inspire a dream,
That when realized you attack,
What kind of loving is this?

(Chorus)

But I still believe, and baby I'll fall or I'll stand,
But this time I finish, I finish
I want to be ready just like a minuteman,
One mind when I hear my name

She offered her hand,
She whispered be a man,
But when I woke from sleep,
There was only me,
But I'll be ready
I'll be ready

All that I want to know,
Is why would I want any more?

(Chorus)

Cause I still believe, and baby I'll fall or I'll stand,
But this time I finish, I finish
I want to be ready, just like a minuteman,
One mind when I hear my name
